Question #23 -
QUESTION:
Is it "heresy" to believe, that the King James Bible is
perfect?
ANSWER:
No.
EXPLANATION: It is
amusing yet appalling that a King James Bible believer, who BELIEVES
the Bible to be inerrant, is called a "heretic" by
people who claim to believe that the Bible is
inerrant.
"Heresy", according to Webster, is
"an opinion or doctrine contrary to the truth or to generally
accepted beliefs."
It is "generally accepted" that the
Bible is the perfect word of God. I have often told people,
"I don't believe that the King James Bible is the inerrant
word of God. I believe that the BIBLE is the
inerrant word of God. But if you ask me to give
you a copy of that Bible, I'll hand you a King James Bible."
Critics of the King James Bible believe
that the "Bible" is the inerrant word of God. BUT, ask
them to hand you a copy of that inerrant Bible
that they "believe" in, and you will find that it
doesn't exist anywhere on this earth!
We King James Bible believers simply believe
what they CLAIM to believe. And for that we are called
"heretics."
Actually the "heretic" label is
designed more to scare young adherents away from the inerrant
Bible, than to honestly define the name callers feelings. It is
hoped by the Bible critic that the fear of being labeled a
"heretic" will discourage zealous Christians from REALLY
believing what Bible critics claim to believe.
In fact, if it is generally accepted by
fundamentalists that "the Bible is the inerrant word of
God" and the Bible critic can find a mistake in every
Bible that you put in his hand, then... who really is the
heretic?
